Check out my review of Cymbals Eat Guitars at Great Scott on Bostonist tomorrow/today. As a brief aside, Joe (the singer) has a singing style not unlike many frontman from many a mid-90s emo band. I’ll leave it at that. Stumble your way onto Bostonist tomorrow if you’re more interested i[...]

Please pardon me for the lack of updates after the whirlwind of SDRE-related posts. I took the weekend off and have been doing a little research for something that will crop up in a few weeks. Until then, a video clue. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlTE5j7aEf0][...]

Yep. And this one’s a doozy: Clearly an incorrect rumor from the get go. Big ups to Aaron at Unlikely Words for catching this one. Dude’s been working quite a bit to track down information concerning the slightly-guarded/unknown state of Thorns of Life and their debut album. But seriousl[...]

Check out Bostonist tomorrow/today for a review of the recent Team Robespierre gig at the Middle East Upstairs. I’ll leave it at that – check out the piece for what I thought (and you might be able to pick up on my not-so-subtle hint of a title for this post.)[...]

One last email… Thanks to Kyle Ryan at the AV Club (http://www.avclub.com/articles/sunny-day-real-estate-releases-tour-dates-announce,29550/) for finding this sweet bit of info. Sunny Day Real Estate now have a website. And it’s got the LP2 image all over it: http://sunnydayrealestate.fm[...]

Another day, another email post of SDRE updates. This time, the Anaheim date that @chriscantore dropped a hint at on Twitter is on the table. Here’s the word from House of Blues Anaheim: On Sale Saturday: Down 8/1, Collective Soul 9/10, Happy Mondays & Psychedelic Furs 9/19, Sunny Day Real[...]
